Bloomsburg University professor arrested on child porn charges

A Bloomsburg University professor has been charged with having child porn on his school computer.

Attorney General Josh Shapiro said Friday the college found the illegal images on the office computer of 57-year-old Scott Lowe during a routine audit of the school’s machines. Lowe is listed as a professor and chairman in the department of Philosophy according to the Bloomsburg University website.

“My office has a zero-tolerance policy for sexual predators – no matter who they are,” Attorney General Shapiro said. “These charges are particularly heinous because the accused is a professor – someone trusted to work closely with students. This professor is charged with viewing child pornography on his computer in his university office. That is outrageous, and he will be held accountable. No one is above the law.”

Bail was set at $250,000 and a preliminary hearing scheduled for February 28th at 11 am.
